Ive just recently had a couple of 'medium' IBS episodes after eating Banana on an empty stomach.
Ive been looking at the similarities between my 2 IBS triggers.
Avocado & Banana. Food allergies can manifest themselves in
Gastrointestinal Symptoms. Which I imagine is basically what IBS is, or atleast part of the symptoms we experience.
There is only 2 Known Links between Avacado & Banana:
Melon Allergy
The most common foods associated with melon allergy were:
- Avocado
- Banana
- Kiwi
- Watermelon
- Peach
Latex Allergy
Latex allergy is normally something associated with people working in the medical industry, with a lot of exposure to latex products. The food allergy comes in because apparently the breakdown of these foods mimic latex proteins as they break down in your body:
- Avocado
- Banana
- Kiwi/Fig/Peach/Grape/Plum/Cherry
- Chestnut/Hazelnut
- Various Melons
- Tomato/Celery
- Potato
- Wheat/Rye
Generally speaking, you would probably know whether you have this Latex allergy or not, I believe the food allergies are just a coincidence in my case.
In any case, just thought id post the information I found, maybe somebody has a similar IBS reaction to these foods, if not, hopefully it made for some informative casual reading at the least
Avacado & Banana
